</tbody></table>Hello loyal readers! Unfortunately, I will no longer have my beloved job at the local candle store because Wik Candle is closing. This has been a very sad experience, but I am doing my best to use this as an opportunity to follow my dreams. In recent weeks, a new (and dear) friend of mine, a stylist at Toni and Guy has introduced me to the world of freelance makeup artistry and to photographer, Kelsey Newkham of <a href="http://kelseyelizabethportraits.com/">Kelsey Elizabeth Portraits</a>.<br />
<br />
I have done makeup for a few photo shoots with Kelsey and it has been a dream come true! I have learned so much already and I look forward to researching and learning more about styling hair, as well. So, I am here to tell you all that I am teaming up with her to do makeup and hair for anyone requesting a stylist for their photo shoot. To check out her portfolio and schedule your two-hour shoot with me as the stylist go to <a href="http://kelseyelizabethportraits.com/">http://kelseyelizabethportraits.com/</a> !! <br />

It is so easy to choose the wrong color and since skin slightly changes its color, tone and texture day-to-day, all-over color rarely looks natural. Since I avoid foundation, I have to be very picky about my concealer. So, I am always searching for a new concealer that is better than my last. I look for a concealer that will<i> </i><b>easily</b> cover anything and stay put without looking cake-y or feeling too heavy on my face. Believe it or not, I have quite a bit to cover. I have bags and dark circles under my eyes, scars, sun damage, uneven skin tone, blemishes and the list goes on. If I work up the courage, maybe one day I'll post before and after pictures of me.. maybe. But, no one would ever know my bad skin secrets by looking at me. So, you can trust me when I say that this stuff works! <a href="http://www.cargocosmetics.com/products/face/onebase">Cargo One Base</a> covers all of my bad skin woes and leaves me looking fresh, dewy, and flawless because it is a foundation and a concealer in one. I use 02 - fair with pink undertones. It comes in a very convenient tube and I love it!</div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

I am here to reveal my new-found obsession with <a href="http://www.lushusa.com/shop/">Lush Cosmetics</a>! What did you think I was talking about? </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: left;">These fresh handmade cosmetics are truly an amazing find. This company believes in "making effective products from fresh, organic fruits and vegetables, the finest essential oils and safe synthetics." With all this hype over natural, environmentally friendly, and safe cosmetics these days who wouldn't be interested in what this fine company has to offer? Here are a few items I have tried so far...</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXFgCza4uPpALH8qS5SKl8zPlLmi0XtW9EUSR1ducCPvl4zIyDU4p71dJiRAAUN34DFsJMJf8cJiPCVQin5e-Wn6ZzZ3JmztHMM_4rYi1GVf1gcSgSmLpFdidfXyo3Fs5kyVAN09MqGH4/s1600/each+peach+massage+bar..jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXFgCza4uPpALH8qS5SKl8zPlLmi0XtW9EUSR1ducCPvl4zIyDU4p71dJiRAAUN34DFsJMJf8cJiPCVQin5e-Wn6ZzZ3JmztHMM_4rYi1GVf1gcSgSmLpFdidfXyo3Fs5kyVAN09MqGH4/s200/each+peach+massage+bar..jpg" width="200" /></a>The <a href="http://www.lushusa.com/shop/products/body/massage-bars/each-peach-%28and-twos-a-pair%29">Each Peach Massage Bar</a> is absolutely brilliant. At first glance I thought it was a simple bar of soap, but it heats up at the touch of your skin and turns into a silky luxurious lotion with a fruity, fresh scent! To keep your lotion at a "solid" temperature until you are ready to use it, you should get a <a href="http://www.lushusa.com/shop/products/gifts/accessories/massage-bar-tin">Massage Bar Tin</a> for storage. When you are ready to buy a new massage bar, you can bring in your tin and re-fill it! ..Or use the tin for other fun things like holding jewelry or gift giving.. So many ideas!</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: left;"><br />
I also tried the <a href="http://www.lushusa.com/shop/products/face/cleansers/dark-angels">Dark Angels Cleanser</a>, which has totally transformed my skin. It gives my skin everything it needs to look radiant and blemish-free. This tough facial cleaner is made with charcoal to absorb oils and exfoliate your skin, nutritious avocado oil to soften, glycerin to keep the moisture in and black sugar to scrub away dead skin. It is very messy, so I usually use it in the shower. Warning: the Dark Angels Cleanser can easily scare boyfriends, mothers, roommates, etc. who may walk in on your scrubbing endeavors. So, scrub with caution.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
Changing your shampoo is a good habit to have. Your hair adapts to the weather and the products you use, which can leave your hair looking dull and lifeless. I change my shampoo all the time! Sometimes three times a week. Is that normal? Anyways, If you need a shampoo switch and are bored of the same bottle after bottle, I have found your new best friend. Two words: Shampoo. Bar. Having one of these while traveling is a MUST.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtNsErtHWfcf1NdEIJwr5rbeMnM2gA3lsJ_AScFIQ4mQX3uZjkVhArJMv9tk0Zmht9TK1omKAfrxtMlGW57uAHzJ1u2O1reqA-6YaYoOag_Ov2_Dixks1RrJfwxnJXwPxGIgL1_aQxD2o/s1600/lush-shampoo-squeaky-green-shampoo-bar.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="175" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtNsErtHWfcf1NdEIJwr5rbeMnM2gA3lsJ_AScFIQ4mQX3uZjkVhArJMv9tk0Zmht9TK1omKAfrxtMlGW57uAHzJ1u2O1reqA-6YaYoOag_Ov2_Dixks1RrJfwxnJXwPxGIgL1_aQxD2o/s200/lush-shampoo-squeaky-green-shampoo-bar.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>Lush has an assortment of shampoos to fit your specific hair needs, all with the same convenience as a bar of soap. I unfortunately have the lifelong gift of oily locks, so I opted for the <a href="http://www.lushusa.com/shop/products/hair/solid-shampoos/squeaky-green">Squeaky Green</a>. It is made with rosemary, nettle, and peppermint to deep clean your hair and beat any flakiness in your scalp. It also smells great! Store your bar in a cool, dry place like in a <a href="http://www.lushusa.com/shop/products/gifts/accessories/shampoo-bar-tin-">Shampoo Bar Tin</a>. </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />

Everything is designed to look unique, colorful, and apparently edible. Lush is such a unique brand that is dedicated to natural, safe cosmetics. They have so much to offer. Find your <a href="http://www.lush.com/shop/find/">local Lush store</a> and see for yourself!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Tip:>> For best results, use the Dark Angels Cleanser once a week and make sure to moisturize right after! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I sincerely apologize for my long absence. I started this blog with the intention of sharing my knowledge and love for cosmetics with whom ever would have me, but the end of 2010 was very difficult for me. My grandfather passed away in October and I lost track of things for a few months, but I am back and stronger than ever! So, I know it's a little late for New Years' resolutions, but better late than never! My resolutions are to continue blogging and finally stop biting my nails! I know, it's disturbing that a 22 year-old could possibly have this absurd and disgusting habit. I find it funny that while my friends are concentrating on kicking their smoking habits, I am working on quitting the life long, childish vice of having my fingers in my mouth. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLFj1uBDMmijNWgbjsHYvVpRUrsO40w5CZMBFjADzB11oeMHSXeDVmdfd8Dw3SsutWrvauDfTSu7BnEASF9H0HXpeeCHkqWksLH7X31jXglbxyci_zJtNWOy17zRqIeSPAboQm6cK3u3Q/s1600/OPI.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="137" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLFj1uBDMmijNWgbjsHYvVpRUrsO40w5CZMBFjADzB11oeMHSXeDVmdfd8Dw3SsutWrvauDfTSu7BnEASF9H0HXpeeCHkqWksLH7X31jXglbxyci_zJtNWOy17zRqIeSPAboQm6cK3u3Q/s320/OPI.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The thing that has really helped me stop the biting is keeping my nails short, filed and painted. There was no way I was going to the nail salon with the nubs I had. So, I decided to pull off a little "do it yourself". I bought a cheap nail kit at CVS and started my journey! Since I knew my nails were too short for any drastic colors, I started with </span><a href="http://www.amazon.com/OPI-nail-polish-lacquer-Tea-sing/dp/B00139L3AS?ie=UTF8&tag=maki08-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;" target="_blank">OPI just tea-sing</a>. <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I love this color because it is light enough for shorter nails, but is still noticeable. If you like bright colors or are just looking for a polish change for spring, check out the <a href="http://www.sephora.com/browse/section.jhtml?categoryId=C23880">Sephora by OPI GLEE Collection</a>!</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiocaH9cqu3AGn_0iyMEOvGWSAun3rDC84rK2ETD-bTyrIKG2HOT58P1b7JnmAUEgC6Y57WhFudbxQpN4mfSxQz9zcjBpRAM3D0kEu3niwbcuMkPHfZw8RBKaouEZfib62da3hULbzkRDw/s1600/vaseline+nail.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiocaH9cqu3AGn_0iyMEOvGWSAun3rDC84rK2ETD-bTyrIKG2HOT58P1b7JnmAUEgC6Y57WhFudbxQpN4mfSxQz9zcjBpRAM3D0kEu3niwbcuMkPHfZw8RBKaouEZfib62da3hULbzkRDw/s200/vaseline+nail.jpg" width="200" /></a><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">In an attempt to heal my cuticles I bought some <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Vaseline-Intensive-Healthy-Conditioning-Lotion/dp/B0019GI3GC?ie=UTF8&tag=maki08-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank">Vaseline healthy hands and nails lotion</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=maki08-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B0019GI3GC" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important; padding: 0px ! important;" width="1" />. It is designed specifically for hands and nails. It soaks into your skin quickly and lasts all day. It even strengthens your nails so they can grow long, healthy, and beautiful! It keeps me from biting because let's face it, who wants lotion in their mouth? I bought a small tube to keep in my purse for easy use throughout the day. Great buy!</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: x-small;">>>Tip: If you're like me and always seem to smudge your freshly painted nails, paint one hand first and let it dry before painting the other. This gives you a free hand for the inconvenient random itchiness everyone seems to get when they are unable to scratch! </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />

I don't know about you, but licking my lips at that delicious Halloween candy has left me with a chapped kisser! The dryness sneaks up on me every year. Naturally, I have a few tricks up my sleeve to counteract this cold weather nightmare.</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: left;"><br />

It is only six dollars at Sephora! You can put it on dry elbows, knees and of course, LIPS. It even treats diaper rash! Caution: This product will melt everywhere if left in the cup holder of your car in the Texas heat. Don't make the same mistake I did. I promise, It is not as much fun to clean up as it is to put it on. </span></div></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">Looking for a touch of color in your lip fix? The <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Korres-Mango-Butter-Lipstick-Coral/dp/B001547706?ie=UTF8&tag=maki08-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank">Korres Mango Butter Lipstick</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=maki08-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B001547706" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important; padding: 0px ! important;" width="1" /> has Sephora's natural seal of approval and comes twelve fabulous shades! It is only $18 and it is SPF 10. Make sure to protect your lips from those rays in the winter, too. They can be even more harmful during these months, especially if you're out in the snow!</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirMFJIuKdvPqLUXIoE6KdwMSXmXX_trMpzAA85e5eadGTVPYAgzsWy1NHSwxK24wLcLbr8PB62HjsUsAOW4jGjFGlcc8hnaQ4Gx3dCMg2B32PFiZdaLH0HmAgZU8o2Hwy0gtuIdCxiRxU/s1600/aquaphor-healing-ointment.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirMFJIuKdvPqLUXIoE6KdwMSXmXX_trMpzAA85e5eadGTVPYAgzsWy1NHSwxK24wLcLbr8PB62HjsUsAOW4jGjFGlcc8hnaQ4Gx3dCMg2B32PFiZdaLH0HmAgZU8o2Hwy0gtuIdCxiRxU/s200/aquaphor-healing-ointment.jpg" width="200" /></a><br />
After a few long, sickly nights of nose blowing and mouth breathing, my skin is in need of some serious healing. To save myself from the post-sickness blues I turn to my <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Aquaphor-Healing-Ointment-1-75-50/dp/B000NN7FXO?ie=UTF8&tag=maki08-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank">aquaphor healing ointment</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=maki08-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B000NN7FXO" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important; padding: 0px ! important;" width="1" />. It's a little sticky, but it does the trick and little goes a long way!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">>>Tip: Having a skin care routine especially for winter is a must. Try going for a thicker moisturizer at night and pay extra attention to your lips. Start this habit early and your skin will thank you. </span><br />

So, I recently made a purchase (or two) at Sephora, of course. Even when I am only going in to replenish my stock, I always seem to end up with something on the receipt I wasn't planning on buying. It's an addiction, people. Anyways, since I do know how to pick 'em, I ended up with some superb eye liner. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3CxckdXjZsZYS9Y2xzbXSozRfJUk13FbphvSkaCfs7J8FC6FI2tzDL6en0F8KjugI3IqQR6uvYe_EkPaB8kDBCE5pkZCZ0vlnq0BIj9yyMcqR68fXkywowuI_Olt5XJR7MTMNV9VRBok/s1600/jetset+liner.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3CxckdXjZsZYS9Y2xzbXSozRfJUk13FbphvSkaCfs7J8FC6FI2tzDL6en0F8KjugI3IqQR6uvYe_EkPaB8kDBCE5pkZCZ0vlnq0BIj9yyMcqR68fXkywowuI_Olt5XJR7MTMNV9VRBok/s200/jetset+liner.jpg" width="200" /></a><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">This stuff is incredible. It is so easy to use and once it is dry, it isn't moving for anything. Last night, I decided to fashion some dramatic winged liner. I am embarrassed to admit that this usually takes me forever to pull off, but with the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Smashbox-Waterproof-Liner-Midnight-Black/dp/B001GSK5PK?ie=UTF8&tag=maki08-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank">Smashbox Jet Set Waterproof Eye Liner</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=maki08-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B001GSK5PK" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important; padding: 0px ! important;" width="1" /> (in Midnight Black) I was done in no time! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Once I was finished and looking fabulous, I went to clean off my brush. After uselessly running it under water for a considerable length of time, I made the mistake of using the bottom of my sink for assistance. Due to my makeup removal faux pas, the belly of my sink is currently sporting the smudged look. Although my bath fixtures might not adore this astounding discovery, I certainly do! Conclusion: This stuff is immune to water. However, with a little cold cream it comes right off! (phew! I was a little concerned..)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">>>Tip: To make any eye liner stay put longer, take a flat liner brush and go over it with eyeshadow in the same color. Happy lining! </span></span><br />

I know it has been a while, but I regret to inform you that my posts may continue to be few and far between for the next couple of months. School has been kicking my cosmetics loving behind! If only blogging about makeup and skin care would give me some course credit.. in my dreams, right? Anywho, without further adieu..</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />

It is not too harsh on sensitive skin, but it still works wonders. It takes my dull, exhausted skin after a very late night of studying and makes it look like I spent the evening getting a facial. It leaves my skin radiant and it has Sephora's natural seal of approval! (now that's impressive.) </span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: left;"><br />

Fresh has two sets that have a little bit of everything. The first one is called the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Fresh-Sugar-Plum-Glow-Value/dp/B00429Y1KU?ie=UTF8&tag=maki08-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank">"Sugar Plum Let it Glow!"</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=maki08-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B00429Y1KU" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important; padding: 0px ! important;" width="1" /> set<img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=maki08-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B00429Y1KU" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important; padding: 0px ! important;" width="1" />. It has the Sugar plum tinted lip balm, which moisturizes and exfoliates with a hint of color, plus it is SPF 15. Talk about efficient! It also has a small tube of the Supernova Mascara, some twilight Freshface glow, and a sample perfume! The twilight Freshface glow is perfect for giving your skin a subtle radiant glow. You can get all of this awesome stuff for $28. How great is that?! </span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: left;"><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">2.</span> If you are having a good skin day or you are just that lucky that you don't have blemishes to cover, you can start with this brush! It is basically a larger version of brush #1. It is great to use on any areas with unwanted redness or to conceal dark under-eye circles. I love flat brushes! They have impeccable coverage because the hairs are sown tightly together. This allows the brush to hold a lot of makeup, but still blend easily. </span></span><br />

Use it to blend up into your hairline and down your neck. Remember: the idea is to look flawless without looking like you are wearing any makeup. It's possible, I promise!</span></span></span><br />

I know what you are thinking.. "I tried it once and never again will I succumb to the pain that is at home self-tanning.".. and I understand! However, this one is different. Instead of a lotion, cream or spray it is a <i>mousse</i>. The mousse allows you to blend evenly without any streaks. The color is also very unique. It is purely brown with absolutely NO orange pigment. It's amazing and works great with <span style="color: #e06666;">any skin tone</span> because you can layer it until you get the color you desire. Start with one pump of the mousse on freshly cleansed skin, allow it to dry and follow with your regular makeup routine.

However, my skin has been reacting negatively to my recent late night bar hopping and random lengthy sunbathing. I started thinking about the best products that would heal and protect my skin from nature's impurities. I wanted something that would allow me to still wear makeup without allowing my products to make my skin worse. I came up with a two-step process to use before applying my makeup that will balance my skin back into a beautifully radiant texture.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl3zPEMBJKU7iNC0mzLWTU0nVBeOZgDIWUX5dNiRU0GsuhV2agyPk8SI25nD4dt5RPaj5utvgO5hD2uLzaCEdGkc07q8j7ZEjmJ502AfGFF3TCsv_leudYCo7WU0vWf30BKP2cyqwoe-8/s1600/purity.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl3zPEMBJKU7iNC0mzLWTU0nVBeOZgDIWUX5dNiRU0GsuhV2agyPk8SI25nD4dt5RPaj5utvgO5hD2uLzaCEdGkc07q8j7ZEjmJ502AfGFF3TCsv_leudYCo7WU0vWf30BKP2cyqwoe-8/s200/purity.jpg" width="200" /></a><span style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;">If your skin seems like it is breaking out no matter what you do, you need to balance it back to normal. In order to do this you must ban all of your harsh products (facial scrubs, anything with a benzoyl peroxide percentage higher than 2.5%) for at least two weeks. Replace these products with a gentle cleansing face wash.

Listen to what your skin tells you it needs during this process. You may just be dehydrated!</span></span></div>Morgan Jeanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01192053283362900703noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932589383634409256.post-5716572913927593712010-06-10T17:38:00.020-05:002010-07-06T17:00:29.128-05:00Flushed<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: 100%;">During the summer, my face tends to look washed out compared to my sun-tanned physique. If this happens to you, know that it is because we wash/exfoliate our faces more often than we do our bodies. I exfoliated my face last night and although I looked refreshed and tan when I went to bed, I woke up looking very pale and unhealthy. I hate when that happens! So, i decided to add a step to my routine to bring some color to my face.<br />

I have had a very productive day, ending in a little relaxation by the pool. Who could ask for more? After lugging my big bag of several different sunscreens and tanning lotions (my obsession knows no bounds) I started thinking about how much I appreciate this next product. Not only does it make my skin look flawless, but it also protects me from the suns harmful rays.<br />

I tried it my freshman year of college and have been using it every day since. I will never go back. It is very lightweight, it blends perfectly and is SPF 15! I use Bare minerals as a full coverage foundation and as a setting powder after my concealer, erase paste. (Don't forget: every cream needs to be followed with a powder to stay in place!) When applied using the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Bare-Escentuals-Handy-Buki-Brush/dp/B000KFF43I?ie=UTF8&tag=maki08-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank">handy kabuki brush</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=maki08-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B000KFF43I" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important; padding: 0px ! important;" width="1" /> bare minerals covers any flaws or imperfections and is lightweight enough for all of your poolside endeavors!

In order to do this, I must cut down my make-up routine quite a bit or end up running late with no breakfast in my belly. Interestingly enough, one of my favorite products to use is something that, if used correctly, no one else knows it is there and you still look great! Concealer is very important if you are just rolling out of bed and you don't plan on going for that "just rolled out of bed" look. </span><br />
